OK - so I have the ring finally ordered from JA when I''ve finally took a moment to figure out the next step and I need some advice on a couple of things.
My GF and I have both been previously married twice before (and no - not to each other). Third times the charm, right??
Anyway, I''m not sure what is the proper thing to do at this point. Asking her father/parents for her hand doesn''t seem to be it, though - or am I wrong?? I''m sure whoever wrote up the rules of proposal etiquette didn''t have that in mind, lol!! I HAVE talked to our kids though, (her 16 y.o. daughter and my 13 y.o. son) and spoken to them about my intentions and both are ecstatic. Should I say anything to her parents? I''ve only met them a couple of times before and they live 3 states away, not that that should be an issue.
The other issue I have is a matter of how/when and would welcome some suggestions.
We are taking our kids down to Orlando for a week vacation before school starts - hitting Universal, Sea World, etc. I''m wondering if a public proposal in front of the kids would go over well or should I keep it private? Do it in one of the parks or somplace more private?
And oh - we have discussed marriage and are both on the same page but she has no idea I have bought a ring and am getting ready to propose.
Any thoughts/comments would be greatly appreciated!
